Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As filming continues on Orange Is The New Black season 3, the Netflix show has announced a cookbook that promises to serve up the "bites, booze, secrets and stories" from inside Litchfield prison.

Launching in September, the book will feature 65 series-related recipes, more than 100 photographs, and 12 sidebars that offer new details and insights into the characters, the sets, and the inner workings of the show.

The show isn't an obvious choice for a recipe book, given that Litchfield's cuisine is known for being fairly basic, nausea-inducing and occasionally tampon-filled, but I guess they'll try and 'gourmet' it up a little.

"The recipes cover three square meals a day, plus snacks/sides, desserts, and drinks," a blurb on the OITNB website states.

"They include Red’s Chicken Kiev, Miss Claudette’s Coconut Cake, and Prison Punch. The sidebars include Taystee’s sug­gested prison reading list, the recipe for Red’s Homemade Homeopathic Remedies, and a prison glossary."

"Chock full of in-depth information about the show, including recipe headnotes by the characters, DIY projects that emulate notable props, and prison factoids that help bring the show to life, this cookbook will bring a little piece of Litchfield right into your very own kitchen."

Orange Is The New Black season 3 is currently filming in New York, and is expected to feature less Larry Bloom and more Alex Vause.
